"Me and you" are basic words, and can only be said in terms of the whole person. It is impossible to achieve the concentration and integration of a complete person without me, and it will never be possible without me. I need you to become a whole person, and the process of becoming me, I say you. The whole real life is an encounter.

- Martin Buber (Israeli Jewish philosopher, translator, educator)

Bai Feng, who was well aware of the value of the intelligence organization, faintly discovered the existence of the secret guard when the imperial capital set up the intelligence organization; how could Charlemagne, as the emperor who ruled the great empire, not have an intelligence force loyal to him in his hands?

But what Bai Feng didn't expect was that this intelligence force, which was loyal to Charlemagne, now took the initiative to contact him and inform him of Charlemagne's unintentional attitude;

Ames, the leader of the Hidden Guard, was a name that Bai Feng was completely unfamiliar with, and he didn't know how to judge the purpose of this person's secret letter, but with the mentality that he would rather believe that he had something than not, Bai Feng decided to make appropriate adjustments to his army.

Previously, Bai Feng had been restrained in installing cronies and appointing henchmen, in order not to attract the attention of the empire as much as possible, and now that Charlemagne already had the idea of cutting power, Bai Feng had to do some precautionary things.

The application for the knighthood of six hundred and forty-two imperial barons, thirty-two imperial viscounts, and thirty-six imperial counts was only the first step for Bai Feng to control the two provinces and stabilize the military power;

Before receiving Ames's secret letter, Bai Feng was confident that Charlemagne would accept his application, after all, this was the fastest and most effective way to quickly stabilize the two provinces to recover, and it was natural to reward meritorious soldiers in the army.

After receiving Ames's secret letter, the little confidence in Bai Feng's heart immediately disappeared invisibly, if Charlemagne's attitude was really like this, how could he let himself continue to develop?

Knowing that his application would not be approved by Charlemagne, Bai Feng, who felt that he could not wait for time, used the military and political power of the two provinces in his hands to make a large-scale appointment of the six hundred and forty-two quasi-barons and thirty-two quasi-viscounts.

The one hundred and thirty-four towns in the provinces of Brojansson and Toulon were required one hundred and thirty-four lords and mayors, as well as four hundred and two clerks, civil officers, and treasurers, all of whom were appointed by the barons appointed by Bai Feng.

The thirty-two military officers, secretary officers, civil affairs officers, and financial officers required for the six provincial county towns and the two provincial capitals were also appointed by the prospective viscounts appointed by Bai Feng, and only the provincial governors, who had to be appointed by Charlemagne, did not interfere without permission.

Of course, only thirty-two quasi-viscounts could not fully control the full power of the six county towns and two capitals, and in order to help them better control the power of the county towns and capitals, Bai Feng also appointed a quasi-baron to each of them to assist them.

According to the original plan, the city defense forces of the two provinces, which should be gradually rebuilt in a month's time, were immediately put on the agenda by Bai Feng, because only by rebuilding the city defense forces of the two provinces as soon as possible could Bai Feng have enough time to insert men and completely control the city defense forces of the two provinces.

The standard military system of the Imperial City Defense Army was that each province could form a 3,000-strong city defense army, and each county outside the capital could form a 1,000-strong city defense army, and the two provinces with four counties under the same jurisdiction could each form a 6,000-strong city defense army.

The provinces of Brosiansson and Toulon had six counties and two capitals, and a total of eight city defense commanders were required, including six wing commanders, twenty-four squadron commanders, one hundred and twenty squadron commanders, and one thousand two hundred squad commanders.

In addition to the supreme commander, there is one wing commander for every 1,000 city defense troops in the two provincial capitals, and in the 1,000 city defense armies in other counties, there is no wing commander in the post of joint commander, and there are two captains under the command.

Needless to say, the eight commanders, six wing leaders, and twenty-four group leaders were all appointed by the quasi-barons appointed by Bai Feng; among the one hundred and twenty squadron leaders, thirty-four squadron leaders were appointed by the quasi-barons appointed by Bai Feng, and eighty-six squadron leaders were veterans of the Yulin Wing.

The 1,200 squad leaders at the most basic level were selected and appointed from among the 12,000 newly recruited young men, so that Bai Feng, who had personally rebuilt the city defense armies of the two provinces, would have complete control over the two armies, and the imperial capital would not even have a chance to intervene.

When Bai Feng put forward this plan for the reconstruction of the city defense army, all the generals under his command expressed no objection, except for Cunningham, who had just been incorporated into Bai Feng's army, who objected; he suggested that the new army officers and men of the eliminated Wind Thieves Regiment should be directly used to form the city defense troops of the two provinces.

This seems to be just a time-saving suggestion, but in fact it contains another layer of deep meaning: everyone knows that the new army of the Wind Thieves is full of favor and respect for Bai Feng, and even regards Bai Feng as their savior, with only Bai Feng in their eyes and no empire in their hearts!

If the two provincial city defense forces are formed on the basis of these eliminated new army officers and soldiers, then Bai Feng's prestige among the city defense forces of the two provinces will reach a very terrifying level, and at that time, Bai Feng's real attempt to rebuild the city defense forces of the two provinces will undoubtedly be completed with half the effort.

After a thoughtful glance at Cunningham, he ordered Luculus to be in charge of recalling the disbanded Eliminated New Army, and after the four-hour meeting, the generals dispersed and Cunningham was left alone.

"General Cunningham, it is said that you are a scheming general of the Swift Wind Thieves, and it seems that you have indeed lived up to your reputation today. When there were only two people left in the conference room, Bai Feng smiled and praised Cunningham, "You are much better than those reckless men under my command. ”

"The general is too modest. In the face of Bai Feng's praise, Cunningham, whose face remained unchanged, said in a slightly lost tone: "The commanders of the various armies under the general's command, who is not the posture of a general who is in charge alone; ”

"Really?" Bai Feng, who was moved, no longer delved into this meaningless topic, but opened his mouth to invite: "General Cunningham, there are indeed many generals under my command who can take charge alone, but there are not many people who can give me advice, are you willing to help me?"

"The general has an order, and the last general will not dare to disobey. Cunningham, who looked extremely solemn, stood up from his seat, knelt down on one knee in front of Bai Feng and said, "But if the general can agree to the three requests of the general, the general will be the general!"

"You say!" Bai Feng, who was undeniable, did not immediately agree to Cunningham's request.

"First, the last general pleaded with the general to help the last general kill the black-clothed guard commander Feiqi next to Prince Philip one day!" At the mention of Feige's name, Cunningham's expression obviously became hideous, and his eyes burst with hatred, which could not be faked at all.

"Within three years, Feige will die!" Bai Feng, who did not make a promise easily, made a promise to Cunningham.

"Second, the last general begs the general, if he has the opportunity to fight against the Phantom Demon Thieves in the future, he can give the last general an army, and let the last general annihilate the Phantom Demon Thieves in general!" Cunningham, whose hatred grew stronger, only increased the hideousness on his face.

"Okay, I promise you!"

"Thirdly, the last general begs the general not to treat the generals of the Wind Thieves Regiment differently, they are all great generals with their own strengths, as long as the general is willing to trust them and reuse them, they will definitely become your humerus generals in the future!"

"I know if they are worthy of my trust and reuse, you just need to do your part. ”
